Everything is distance from the MCT.

 

Russian Tea Room, Brooklyn Diner, La Bon Soup, to name few

Hundreds of hotels in Manhattan and many are just a short taxi ride from the cruise terminal so there's no need to be very close. Good restaurants are everywhere...it would be hard to find a hotel that is very far from someplace good to eat. 

Are you just staying in Manhattan for one night or several?

If you want to be within walking distance of the cruise terminal, the best hotel is probably Ink48 . There are also a couple of chain hotels on West 48th St. ...Holiday Inn Express and Comfort Inn that are OK for a one night stay.

We need a lot more info from you to even begin to make a suggestion-- there are hundreds of hotels within a short distance of the MCT that range from a couple hundred a night to several thousands and everything in between.

yes, it'll be just for one night. we will fly in and then just look for a place to eat, so we won't have time to look around really, but want a nice clean hotel, even though it's for one night 🙂

What's the date?
What's your budget for the room?

How many beds?

We always stay at the michealanglo small boutique hotel in a great location 51st and 7th walking distance to loads of restaurants, broadway, Rockefeller center etc, extremely large rooms all over 400 sq ft .

I'm also looking for a hotel for a cruise in September from New York.  We will be there a couple of days before the cruise.  I am looking at the Courtyard Marriott Manhattan/Central Park  and RIU Plaza Manhattan.  Any other recommendations,  thank you.

Those are both fine.  Without a budget and exact dates and how many beds you need it is hard to make suggestions

I looked on Google Maps. Both properties are fine. The RIU is very close to Rock Centre. You could walk around, even look at the Today Show before going to the pier. Plenty of places to eat around there. 
 

The Marriott nothing really around there to see. I guess you could take a walk to Central Park but it’s not that close. 

[rwest898]

Thank you, someone else told me RIU also.  I am looking into that because I think the rates were similar to what I have.

Ink48 looks very interesting.  Love the rooftop bar and very close to Pier 88 cruiseport.

Has anyone stayed there?

[Nitemare]

It is well reviewed on TripAdvisor, but it is close to the Hudson River, but not close to transit and city attractions.  For one night before a cruise, sure, I'd stay there.  For more than that?  Stay near attractions and have a slightly longer journey for the one trip to the ship

You need to decide if your focus is 100% on the cruise - or if you are willing to take advantage of peripherals - like an amazing port from which you sail.  There are many folks who will fly across the Atlantic for a Mediterranean cruise -- and will not consider adding a couple of days to take in Rome, or Barcelona, or Athens, or you name it.

We stayed at Ink 48 just prior to Covid. We loved it. We walked with luggage to port, no problems.  But the best parts were the restaurant and rooftop bar. The restaurant, Print, while pricey (like any NY restaurant) but was incredible. The rooftop bar was fun, drinks good. The hotel is a short walk to other restaurants and just out of the busiest, noisy areas. We are cruising out of NY again in Oct and will definitely stay here.
